Hello all and thanks for taking the time to read this! First of all, I’d like to introduce myself, my name is Carlos Martín Martínez and I’m an Associate Sales Consultant in the EMEA Presales Center based in Málaga. This leads me to explain two things: what is the EMEA Presales Center or EPC and why there’s an office in Málaga.

The EPC is a virtual resource for EMEA’s Presales organizations to assist them with all the back-office and remote work a Sales Consultant normally does, like preparing demos, presentations and delivering webcasts, in order to let the more experienced Sales Consultant spend more time delivering demos and spending time at the customer’s site. It started some years ago in Bangalore and was called iTech back then, then it reached Bucharest with the name of Presales Center (PSC) to be in a better time zone for European organizations to be later renamed as what we know now as EPC and finally starting in Málaga in 2010 for an even more localized service.

My
Name is Neele, originally German and now living in Ireland. I have been working
as a Business Development Representative
for Oracle in Dublin since November 2010. After graduating from my Business
School in Southern Germany (DHBW Ravensburg) I was working at Lidl for about a
year until Oracle came into my life. Oracle contacted me and offered me an
amazing start to my career. As I studied International Business, my dream was
to work abroad. The opportunity with Oracle included the chance to work abroad
in an international surrounding with getting to know people from all different
countries of Europe. – My Dream!

This
multicultural environment is unique in Europe. I am working directly with
colleagues from France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Great Britain,
Portugal and many other European countries in ONE single team.

So far I have gotten
to know nearly every language in Europe and try to adopt some words for myself.

Oracle
gives you the chance to develop your own career in an international
environment. It´s a multicultural organization and offers you the ability to
learn global business processes. Nowhere else can you gain this much knowledge
that you can promote into the next role within one year.

My jobis focused on generating demand for
Oracle products and finding new business opportunities over the phone. I have established
a close relationship with Sales People all over Europe, but in particular,
those based in Germany and Switzerland. Within a few short months I have
acquired a professional knowledge of the whole IT Sector. At Oracle, I constantly
receive relevant training on a weekly basis to enhance my skill-set. I am
constantly supported by management and my personal mentor. I attend regular
on-to-one sessions with my manager to review my career development plan.

The most
amazing thing I am experiencing is my growing self-confidence and
professionalism when speaking with customers. From having CEO’s on the phone,
to having meetings with 15 different nationalities, to familiarizing with
living in Ireland… it’s something that you will never experience in Germany.

Dublin

Dublin as a place to life is also important to mention: Dublin has its own character. A city
with most of the inhabitants between 20 and 40 offers a lot of activities for
young professionals. The city is modern, vibrant and has a whole lot of
contrasts.

You can decide between anything from water sports, chill at the
beach, go cycling, or indoor sports, or hang out with some friends in Temple Bar
and still I haven´t mentioned all of activities Dublin has to offer. Also there
is a big cultural and musical scene here in Dublin.

If I am speaking for myself: I am a
member of around 10 people from Oracle who plan to go on trips once a month or
go to pubs and movies all together. Just last month we have been to Northern
Ireland for a weekend.

Those
groups emerge during every foundation training all New Starters get here. It is
a training course for getting the start up knowledge for Oracle.

All
in all working here in Dublin for Oracle with all the different possibilities
for personal career development is an added value to a career path for business
graduates and a perfect opportunity to get to know an international global
player and its cultures.
